#DaylightSaving #SleepHealth #MayoClinicHealthSystem When clocks "spring forward," you lose more than just time. During the time change, you sacrifice an hour of precious sleep, leading to widespread grogginess and a struggle to adjust. But this isn't just about feeling tired.
Teens and those with poor sleep habits experience the brunt of the impact, with consequences ranging from mood swings to weakened immunity.
Sleep isn't just rest; it's a foundation for health, affecting everything from memory to metabolism. However, you can soften the blow of daylight saving time.
Head to bed 15 minutes earlier several days before the time change. Remember, good sleep is not a luxury - it's a necessity.
As we adjust our clocks, let's also set the stage for better sleep health.
If you have questions or concerns about sleep, contact the sleep medicine experts at Mayo Clinic Health System.
